The ODI World Cup is to be held in India in October-November this year. Team India has been yearning to win the ICC title for a long time. In such a situation, he has the best chance to win the title at home. The Indian team includes many veteran players, whose main goal is to win the ODI World Cup title.
This time, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, the 'Men in Blue' will try to repeat history once again and win the World Cup while playing on Indian soil. Significantly, in the last few months, Team India did not get a chance to play more ODIs. That's why the selectors of Team India need to do a lot of brainstorming regarding the team selection for the upcoming World Cup.
Many players struggle with injury and bad form
At the same time, many veteran players of Team India are either struggling with injury or bad form. Team India head coach Rahul Dravid will have a big challenge as to which 17-18 players he can keep in the squad for the upcoming World Cup. However, at present, there are many cricketers in Indian cricket, who are continuously working hard to register their names in the upcoming World Cup.
But, some cricketers could not get a chance to play in the World Cup this time. Come, let us know those five cricketers who cannot be a part of Team India in the World Cup this time.
Rishabh Pant
Last few months ago, India's all-rounder batsman and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant had become a victim of a road accident. He was seriously injured in this accident, and he is currently recovering from his injury.
Shikhar Dhawan
Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan is constantly trying his best to make himself a part of Team India in the upcoming World Cup. But his strike rate while batting tells a different story. A slow strike was a major reason behind his drop from the Indian cricket team. On the other hand, at this time Shubman Gill is looking in excellent rhythm. It is believed that Shubman may get a chance as an opener in the upcoming World Cup.
Deepak Chahar
Deepak Chahar, who has been battling a hamstring injury for the last few months, has made a comeback in IPL 2023. Significantly, in a match against Mumbai Indians, he again faced hamstring problems. It is believed that as a fast bowler all-rounder, Hardik Pandya is sure to get a place in the World Cup.
Washington Sundar
Spinners R Ashwin and Akshar Patel are in excellent form at the moment. At the same time, Washington Sundar is also constantly trying to get an entry into Team India. Washington Sundar, who also scored runs for the team with his bat, might be kept out of the World team this time.
Suryakumar Yadav
The bat of Suryakumar Yadav, an explosive batsman of T20 and batting brilliantly in the middle order, has been quiet for the last few matches. Played for Team India. Surya's performance in the last 6 matches has been very poor. He has been dismissed for zero in four innings. It is believed that if Shreyas Iyer is dropped from the team in the upcoming World Cup, then Surya Kumar Yadav can be included in Team India.
